We spent a lovely afternoon at Manuka Oval today - would you believe it's round 7 already and this was our first live game of the season?

It was a pretty cool one to be at too - the AFL's youngest team, the Giants, getting their first win.

There were just over 8,600 footy fans there, with lots of people wearing a jumper or scarf in their favourite team's colours with a Giants cap (I haven't been surrounded by that many people in orange since I was in the Netherlands for Queen's day!).

And it was the perfect example of what I love about going to the footy, and live sport in general - the energy and the excitement of the crowd was just ace.
